In Japan, after the time of Rikyu, metal crafts from Southeast Asia were repurposed as tea utensils from the Nanban trade, such as mizusashi (water jars), bon (trays), and kensui (waste water bowls), and were highly valued. ◽️This is in a condition that allows you to discern the authenticity of a genuine excavated artifact. I want to fill it with water and float flower petals, but I'm restraining myself and keeping it as it was at the time. ✴️Decades ago, when I was collecting Dong Son bronze drums, I purchased these from locals and dealers as part of my collection, during my travels from Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, which was undergoing urbanization, to Phongsaly and Luang Namtha in Laos. When Yin and Western Zhou bronzes were excavated, there was a great commotion even in the local villages. Currently, even in the remote mountains of Phongsaly, you can comfortably spend time in hotels with WiFi and Google Maps (it's difficult outside). Back then, there were no phones, no showers, no hotels, and no way to communicate in the local language, so I lived the same life as the Akha people. Even so, I was gradually given stone statues from Pagan, Champa, and Angkor, bronze vortex-patterned bells and sound instruments from Yunnan, China and Angkor, and Buddhist art tools from ruined temples, and I have been collecting them for half a century. ✴️There are many copies circulating in Japan from the 19th to the 20th century. Mercari and Yahoo Auctions are filled with a vast number of bronze replica products, wrapped in old boxes and box writings to hide the fakes. Please be careful not to be deceived by the titles.
